RICHMOND:
Toby Nankervis, knee
“Toby had an incident early in the game with a ruck contest at the centre bounce and got a direct hit on the knee. A typical PCL-type injury that the rucks get from time to time in that jump where they make contact. He’s had this injury last year as well and he’s been managing it pretty much for the past 12 months but it’s been under control. It stirred him up and he was playing through the game but had a number of ruck contests were there was contact and late in the game he was flagging with us that he was really struggling to run. So, with 10 minutes to go, medically we decided that he would finish (the game) there. He’s pulled up surprisingly not too badly, so we haven’t actually ruled him out of this weekend’s game. He’s in the doubtful category right now, we just want to have another look at it later in the week. The scans have showed pretty much what we already knew… He’s not completely out of the frame for the weekend.”
Probable
Trent Cotchin – clavicle “Trent had that clavicle surgery a fortnight ago. He’s going to resume training with us this week. He’s seeing the surgeon tomorrow and our doctors will hopefully give him the tick off to be available this week, but we’ll have more news on that later in the week.”
Noah Balta – hamstring “Noah’s coming off a hamstring injury and he will do full training this week and be available for selection, providing he gets through the full week of training.”
Josh Gibcus – illness “He was ill last week and just needed the week to recover. He started training with us today (Monday) so he’ll get the full week of training in and will be available for selection this week.”
Doubtful
Toby Nankervis – knee
Jack Ross – knee Right now he’s in the doubtful category, but we’ll wait and see how the week pans out.”
Unavailable
Tom Lynch – hamstring (short-term) he’s going to miss this week and we’ll put him though a short rehab phase. Hopefully it will be a very short-term injury, but we’ll wait and see.”
Dustin Martin – hamstring (short-term) He won’t be available this week, and given next week it’s a short turnaround on the Friday night, it’s going to be touch and go.
Ivan Soldo – hand (short-term) “Ivan had an incident during the game where he’s broken his thumb. He’s having some surgery tomorrow (Tuesday) and he’ll miss this week, but we think it’s a very short turnaround and we’re hopeful he’ll be available next week.”
Kane Lambert – Achilles / hip (medium-term)we’re going to put a couple of weeks of preparation back into Kane and let things settle a little bit and try and tune him up for the last part of the season. Hopefully we’ll see him back out there again soon.”
Sydney Stack – fractured cheekbone (medium-term) He won’t be playing this weekend and I don’t think he’ll be available the following week, we’ll keep everyone updated over the next few weeks.”
